2. 1. Modelling the dynamics of domestic low-temperature heat pump heating systems for improved performance and thermal comfort : a systems approach

   Author : Dimitra Sakellari; Per Lundqvist; Savvas Tassou; KTH; []
   Keywords : Technology; heat pump; domestic heating and ventilation; low-temperature hydronic heat distribution; systems approach; integration; simulation; energy efficiency; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : The present environmental concerns and the rising human requirement for solutions with better comfort and lower costs have resulted in an increased awareness for the energy use in the built environment. Technical advances in building structural systems and materials, heating and other comfort-providing systems and controlling strategies all lead to the integration of building technology with the function of buildings and the aesthetics.

5. 3. A Systemic Approach Framework for Operational Risk : – SAFOR –

   Author : Anna-Maria Kessler; Love Ekenberg; Mats Danielson; Tara Baidya; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; operational risk; systems thinking; decision analysis; interval forecasts; Computer and systems science; Data- och systemvetenskap; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis attempts to describe the essential systems features of a complex real-world domain of operational risk (OR) in banking, by employing general systems theory (GST) as the guiding method. An implementational framework (SAFOR) is presented for operational risk management (ORM), the target of which is to manage and mitigate the risk-around-loss causes. READ MORE

6. 4. Hierarchical Concurrent Systems from a Model-Oriented perspective

   Author : Daniel Einarson; Data Vetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; control; systems; numerical analysis; Computer science; Distributed Systems; Hierarchical Systems; Object-Orientation; Model-Orientation; Datalogi; numerisk analys; system; kontroll; Systems engineering; computer technology; Data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : Real world systems are normally considered as hierarchically organized, for example, we see those as hierarchies of systems including subsystems. Examples on this can be seen in organizations where people act in environments and carry within themselves their own internal subsystem of thinking processes. READ MORE

7. 5. On the road to interoperability : Complexities of public sector enterprise thinking

   Author : Hannu Larsson; Åke Grönlund; Karin Hedström; Ulf Melin; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; eGovernment; Enterprise Architecture; Enterprise thinking; Implementation; Metaphors; Informatik; Informatics;

   Abstract : Increasingly, eGovernment (the use of ICTs in order to achieve better government) is moving its focus from web presence and electronic service provision to striving for an interoperable public sector. Interoperability refers to the ability for information exchange across organizational borders, concerning technology as well as business aspects. READ MORE
